It’ll be a familiar trip.

After carding an 87 Tuesday at the Gold Mountain Golf & Country Club to claim fifth place at Tri-Districts, Christine Fields is state bound for the third straight year.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to rise in her sport, having finished seventh at Tri-Districts as a freshman and sixth a season ago.

Now, she’ll return to the Lake Spanaway Golf Course in Tacoma May 27-29 for another crack at a girls’ 1A state links title.

The first day is a practice round, with the 36-hole tourney officially kicking off May 28.

To play through to the second day, you have to be in the top 20 (including ties) after the opening round.

Fields made the cut in both of her previous seasons, finishing 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore.
